具体实施方式detailed description
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
随着科技的发展,终端能够实现的功能越来越多,其中一种常用的功能是压力感应功能。以移动终端为例,移动终端的显示模组中集成的压力感应功能可以用于实现屏下指纹、屏下摄像头以及屏下压力感应等功能。With the development of science and technology, more and more functions can be realized by the terminal. One of the commonly used functions is the pressure sensing function. Taking a mobile terminal as an example, the pressure sensing function integrated in the display module of the mobile terminal can be used to implement functions such as under-screen fingerprints, under-screen cameras, and under-screen pressure sensing.
其中,屏下指纹是一种新兴的功能,在显示行业越来越多地被应用,若将屏下指纹与屏下压力感应的配合使用,可以更好地提升用户体验。Among them, the under-screen fingerprint is an emerging function, which is increasingly used in the display industry. If the under-screen fingerprint is used in conjunction with the under-screen pressure sensor, the user experience can be better improved.
屏下压力感应通过压力传感器(英文:force sensor)实现,压力传感器可以为电容式传感器或者为电阻式传感器。本申请实施例以电容式传感器为例进行说明。The under-screen pressure sensing is realized by a pressure sensor (English: force sensor), which can be a capacitive sensor or a resistive sensor. The embodiment of the present application takes a capacitive sensor as an example for description.
目前,在一种实施方式中,电容式传感器可以通过在显示面板的背面贴附一整面的压力感应传感器来实现屏下压力感应功能。但是,该方案中,需要首先将该压力感应传感器制作完成然后再贴附于显示面板的背面,该制作完成的压力感应传感器包括层叠设置的承载基板、柔性线路板以及压力感应结构等结构。其中,压力感应传感器的柔性线路板通过外挂的引线与显示装置中的固有柔性线路板电连接。如此设置不但导致该压力感应传感器的制作工艺和结构均较为复杂并且制作成本较高。另外,由于引线通常较为脆弱,易发生断裂导致压力感应传感器的稳定性较差。相应的,具有该压力传感器的显示装置的制作工艺和结构也均较为复杂,制作成本较高,稳定性较差。并且,该方案还会导致显示装置厚度的增加。At present, in one embodiment, the capacitive sensor can realize the under-screen pressure sensing function by attaching a pressure sensing sensor on the entire surface to the back of the display panel. However, in this solution, the pressure-sensitive sensor needs to be manufactured first and then attached to the back of the display panel. The finished pressure-sensitive sensor includes a laminated carrier substrate, a flexible circuit board, and a pressure-sensitive structure. Wherein, the flexible circuit board of the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the inherent flexible circuit board in the display device through the external lead. Such an arrangement not only causes the manufacturing process and structure of the pressure sensor to be more complicated, and the manufacturing cost is higher. In addition, since the lead wire is usually fragile and easy to break, the stability of the pressure sensor sensor is poor. Correspondingly, the manufacturing process and structure of the display device with the pressure sensor are also relatively complicated, the manufacturing cost is relatively high, and the stability is poor. Moreover, this solution will also lead to an increase in the thickness of the display device.
本申请实施例提供了一种显示装置,可以解决相关技术中存在的技术问题。如图1所示,该显示装置10包括控制器101、框体102、显示面板103、柔性电路板104以及压力感应结构105。The embodiment of the present application provides a display device, which can solve technical problems existing in related technologies. As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 10 includes a controller 101, a frame body 102, a display panel 103, a flexible circuit board 104 and a pressure sensing structure 105.
柔性电路板104位于显示面板103的背面,且与显示面板103电连接,显示面板103的背面为与显示面板103的出光面相对的一面。The flexible circuit board 104 is located on the back of the display panel 103 and is electrically connected to the display panel 103. The back of the display panel 103 is the side opposite to the light-emitting surface of the display panel 103.
压力感应结构105位于柔性电路板104上,压力感应结构105通过柔性电路板104与控制器101电连接,框体102位于柔性电路板104远离显示面板103的一侧,框体102与压力感应结构105之间存在指定距离。The pressure sensing structure 105 is located on the flexible circuit board 104. The pressure sensing structure 105 is electrically connected to the controller 101 through the flexible circuit board 104. The frame 102 is located on the side of the flexible circuit board 104 away from the display panel 103. The frame 102 and the pressure sensing structure There is a specified distance between 105.
本申请实施例中显示装置通过框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离变化来感知电容变化,进而实现压力感应功能。该指定距离指的是能够感测到电容变化的最大距离。若框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离超过该最大距离,则即使通过按压使得框体102与压力感应结构105之间的距离发生了变化,也难以通过该距离的变化感测到电容的变化,如此则无法实现压力感应功能。可选的,框体102为用于承载显示面板103的框架结构,例如框体102为中框。In the embodiment of the present application, the display device senses the capacitance change through the change of the distance between the frame body 102 and the pressure sensing structure 105, thereby realizing the pressure sensing function. The specified distance refers to the maximum distance at which capacitance changes can be sensed. If the distance between the frame 102 and the pressure-sensitive structure 105 exceeds the maximum distance, even if the distance between the frame 102 and the pressure-sensitive structure 105 changes by pressing, it is difficult to sense the capacitance through the change in the distance. In this way, the pressure sensing function cannot be realized. Optionally, the frame 102 is a frame structure for carrying the display panel 103, for example, the frame 102 is a middle frame.
综上所述,本申请实施例提供的显示装置中,压力感应结构通过柔性电路板与控制器连接,该连接有控制器的柔性电路板为显示装置中的固有柔性电路板,因此无需单独为该压力感应结构设置承载基板以及柔性线路板等结构,简化了显示装置的结构,在一定程度上降低了具有压力感应功能的显示装置的制作成本。In summary, in the display device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the pressure sensing structure is connected to the controller through a flexible circuit board, and the flexible circuit board connected to the controller is an inherent flexible circuit board in the display device, so there is no need to separately The pressure sensing structure is provided with a supporting substrate, a flexible circuit board and other structures, which simplifies the structure of the display device and reduces the manufacturing cost of the display device with pressure sensing function to a certain extent.
并且,相较于相关技术中需要在显示面板的背面贴上一整面的压力感应传感器,由于本申请实施例中无需在显示面板的背面贴上一整面的压力感应传感器,因此,无需增加显示装置中叠层的厚度,有助于实现显示装置的轻薄化;由于本申请实施例中的压力感应结构位于柔性电路板上,无需采用引线的方式将压力感应传感器的柔性电路板外挂于显示装置的固有柔性电路板上,因此,相较于相关技术,本申请实施例提供的显示装置,增加了压力感应功能的可靠性和稳定性。Moreover, compared with the related art that requires a full-surface pressure sensor to be pasted on the back of the display panel, since there is no need to paste a full-surface pressure sensor on the back of the display panel in the embodiment of the present application, there is no need to add The thickness of the laminated layer in the display device helps to realize the lightness and thinness of the display device; since the pressure sensing structure in the embodiment of the present application is located on the flexible circuit board, there is no need to use the lead to hang the flexible circuit board of the pressure sensing sensor on the display The inherent flexible circuit board of the device, therefore, compared with the related art, the display device provided by the embodiment of the present application increases the reliability and stability of the pressure sensing function.
图2和图3示出了本申请实施例中压力感应结构的工作原理,本申请实施例所描述的显示装置中的压力感应结构基于电容式传感器的工作原理。其中,图2示出的是手指未对显示面板(图2中未示出)施加压力的状态下,压力感应结构105与框体102的示意图。图3示出的是手指对显示面板(图3中未示出)施加压力的状态下,压力感应结构105与框体102的示意图。2 and 3 show the working principle of the pressure sensing structure in the embodiment of the present application. The pressure sensing structure in the display device described in the embodiment of the present application is based on the working principle of a capacitive sensor. Wherein, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame body 102 when the finger does not apply pressure to the display panel (not shown in FIG. 2). FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame body 102 in a state where a finger applies pressure to the display panel (not shown in FIG. 3).
从图2中可以看出,在手指未对显示面板施加压力的状态下,压力感应结构105与框体102之间具有固定距离d1,该固定距离d1对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值为C1;从图3中可以看出,在手指对显示面板施 加压力上的状态下,压力感应结构105会随着手指的按压力度产生一定的形变量,压力感应结构105与框体102之间的最短间距,也即是,手指按压位置处对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的间距,会根据该形变量变为距离d2,该距离d2对应的压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值为C2,压力感应结构105的控制器可以根据距离感测出对应的电容值,计算出电容值的变化量,并反馈出对应的感应信号,该感应信号与施加在显示面板上的压力大小呈对应关系。It can be seen from FIG. 2 that when the finger is not applying pressure to the display panel, there is a fixed distance d1 between the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame 102, and the fixed distance d1 corresponds to the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame 102 The capacitance value between the two is C1; it can be seen from Fig. 3 that when the finger presses on the display panel, the pressure-sensitive structure 105 will produce a certain amount of deformation with the pressing force of the finger. The pressure-sensitive structure 105 and the frame The shortest distance between the bodies 102, that is, the distance between the corresponding pressure-sensitive structure 105 and the frame body 102 at the finger pressing position, will be changed into a distance d2 according to the deformation amount, and the distance d2 corresponds to the pressure-sensitive structure 105 The capacitance value between the frame 102 and the frame body 102 is C2. The controller of the pressure sensing structure 105 can sense the corresponding capacitance value according to the distance, calculate the change of the capacitance value, and feed back the corresponding sensing signal. The pressure applied to the display panel is in a corresponding relationship.
可选的,压力感应结构105可以位于柔性电路板104靠近框体102的一面上,即图1中所示的情况,如此结构下,压力感应结构105和框体102之间没有柔性电路板104的阻挡,可以在一定程度上提高压力感应结构的灵敏程度,进而便于控制压力感应结构的控制器能够准确感测出不同距离对应的不同电容值。在其他可选的实施例中,如图4所示,压力感应结构105可以位于柔性电路板104远离框体102的一面上。当然,压力感应结构105也可以位于柔性电路板104上的其他位置,只要使得控制压力感应结构的控制器能够感测出压力感应结构105与框体102之间的电容值即可。Optionally, the pressure sensing structure 105 may be located on the side of the flexible circuit board 104 close to the frame body 102, which is the case shown in FIG. 1. In this structure, there is no flexible circuit board 104 between the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame body 102. The barrier can improve the sensitivity of the pressure-sensitive structure to a certain extent, so that the controller that controls the pressure-sensitive structure can accurately sense different capacitance values corresponding to different distances. In other optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressure sensing structure 105 may be located on the side of the flexible circuit board 104 away from the frame 102. Of course, the pressure sensing structure 105 can also be located at other positions on the flexible circuit board 104 as long as the controller controlling the pressure sensing structure can sense the capacitance value between the pressure sensing structure 105 and the frame 102.
目前,具有电容式压力感应传感器的显示装置中通常具有泡棉,该电容式压力感应传感器通过泡棉贴附于显示面板的背面。在对显示面板进行按压操作时,压力感应传感器中的压力感应结构与框体的间距发生变化进而产生感应信号。在进行按压操作时,泡棉也会发生相应的形变,并且随着按压操作次数的增多,泡棉会产生不可逆的形变,该不可逆的形变会导致压力感应传感器的灵敏性降低,甚至导致压感失效的现象发生,影响该显示装置压力感应功能。而本申请实施例中所描述的压力感应结构中,压力感应结构的形变量与泡棉无关,因此不会出现压感失效的问题,提高了显示装置的压力感应功能的稳定性。Currently, a display device with a capacitive pressure sensor usually has foam, and the capacitive pressure sensor is attached to the back of the display panel through the foam. When the display panel is pressed, the distance between the pressure sensing structure in the pressure sensing sensor and the frame body changes to generate a sensing signal. When the pressing operation is performed, the foam will deform accordingly, and as the number of pressing operations increases, the foam will deform irreversibly. This irreversible deformation will cause the sensitivity of the pressure sensor to decrease and even lead to pressure sensitivity. Failure occurs and affects the pressure sensing function of the display device. In the pressure-sensing structure described in the embodiments of the present application, the deformation of the pressure-sensing structure has nothing to do with the foam, so there will be no pressure-sensing failure problem, which improves the stability of the pressure-sensing function of the display device.
